RE: Common Core = White Guilt from Kindergarten through 12th Grade...

Yes, my six year-old daughter is not a strong reader. Dr. Seuss is about as difficult a book that she can handle. And she still makes some mistakes in addition and subtraction. I'm sorry if that makes her a "moron".

Do you have kids yourself? Were they reading Ulysses in the first grade? Or are you just some 19 year-old f@ggot that likes to talk tough on the internet?

Everyone makes mistakes reading Dr. Seuss, at least in the fashion that it's supposed to read. That's the fun of it. That kid's a douche.

First of all, neither feminists nor Jews have the "shared" agenda to which you refer. Second, if you actually stepped foot into a gender studies class (or a library for that matter), you would find that the bulk of feminist theory and research is premised on the value of GENDER equality, not the domination of men.

1. I keep hearing about a skills-gap and a need for engineers/scientists and then I read something like this and realize what the problem is.

2. Most of the feminist/social-workers that I talk to are constantly steering conversations towards "white privilege" and "white men in this country blah blah blah". The manifestation of upwards of six years of liberal indoctrination often results in a "domination of men" mentality. This might not be the purpose but it is, without doubt, the result.

A liberal mindset is an insidious and paralyzing state of being - I realized this in high school while working with friends of this persuasion. Often times it is the imposition of beliefs that they so vehemently castigate that they themselves are most guilty of.

I can't speak for others, but as a feminist liberal Jew myself, I'll just say that you're damned right about my agenda, whitey. Watch your back.

We just know how to manipulate you goyim

Glad to see Johnny Sh*t Stain in Alabama is chiming in to the conversation.

Common Core reading material LOWERS self esteem in children, it does not raise it.

As a black kid had to read about all these dead white males:

Thomas Jefferson A racist and a pedophile.

George Washinton A slave owner

John Brown Maybe the greatest and most honest white man that ever lived

If that's your view of private schools; you should probably expand your horizons beyond whatever godforsaken "holler" you currently reside.

you are confusing private schools with religious redneck schools.

However, where i live, the public schools are both more competitive and better than most of the private schools. The private schools parents are wasting their money so they could shelter their kids and maintain some stupid repuatation

And again, the conversation drifts into an ideological debate. The standards or any talk about the standards get dropped in this hostile binary (left/right) as if those parties define your identity.

And the people in power go "good, good, I am glad that our theatrical representation of political debates are keeping these peons occupied."

These standards are all about critical thinking. You all could use a heavy dose. Ever heard of narrative design? Look at the "stories" these parties produce.

Wake up. F- to you all.

My fourteen year old debate students would tear you all to shreds.

Have a good run.

Man there are some sad folks on this thread, many of whom know incredibly little about education.

Common Core doesn't dictate the books that are read. Schools and districts can use the Common Core to meet the needs of their students, families and communities. I work on the Navajo Nation, and I can assure you that both "mainstream" public schools as well as indigenous focused charter schools can use the common core to fit their agendas.

If your district posted this list, then they decided on it. And while you may not want to hear it, MLK, Rosa Parks, Caesar Chavez, etc. are actually important figures in American society/history. This list is probably balanced with plenty of white miles. Oh yeah, in case you weren't sure, communities elect school boards.

Blanket statements about private schools, or any schools for that matter, just demonstrate ignorance. There are more than 15,000 school districts in this country, being run by elected, semi-autonomous school boards. That doesn't even consider private schools which do their own thing. Our personal experiences are just that--personal experiences. People who make universal statements based on an n=1 are either trolls or fools.

Nice. Thank you for your insights.

I'm a teacher and will never submit to common core.

1. Common Core's big promoter is Jeb Bush, hardly a liberal.

Jeb Bush is an idiot. If he endorses it, that's even more of a reason to be against it. I surely hope "Jeb Bush supports it" is not supposed to be a strong selling point for this.

Unions used to be the way you keep employers from exploiting people. Now, unions are the way that incompetent people keep their job.

I remember him saying " we busted our a$$es to make a better environment, and now these kids come along and abuse what we worked for. They just expect things to be given to them. Things they didn't work for!"

Oh yeah? What do you teach and do you want to explain your reasoning?

Personally, I am weary of any centralized control in education but view the critical thinking skill standards in the CC as a step up from the last state standards which focused mainly on memorization and grammar skills.

Basically, while I like these particular standards, I am just scared that once standards are centralized, the next psycho can come into power and monopolize idiocy in one move. State standards are better in theory but the states have proven themselves to be pretty crappy at writing them.

Every kid should know about Cesar Chavez
